Chocolate cup, grandma's mousse and raspberry coulis
Dark chocolate Easter eggs, raspberry coulis. A great treat!
The conservation of most chocolates should be in a dry environment and not exceeding 15°C / 59°F. Ideally, when handling chocolate, use plastic gloves to avoid leaving marks of your fingerprints. Your body gives off a heat at around 27°C, so you will easily mark the chocolate.
You can find rhodoid sheets in any art stores.

Grandmas Mousse
Place the chocolate in a bowl on a steam bath. Heat your cream until it boils. Once the chocolate melts, remove from heat and then pour the cream on top of the chocolate. Mix well with the help of a whisk.
In a separate bowl, whisk your egg whites, then add the sugar once it starts to form peaks.
Add the egg yolks into the chocolate then mix well. Next, add the whipped egg whites to the chocolate mix and fold it in gently. Pour the mousse into you molds and then place the molds in the fridge, overnight ideally.

Coulis
In a sauce pot, bring the sugar and water to a boil, remove from heat as soon as it comes to a boil. Cool the syrup down on ice or in the fridge. Finally, all that is left is to combine the syrup with the raspberry pulp.
Cut the fresh raspberries lengthwise.
